Cheap PPC alternative?

[Amigamia]

Who said that we have to wait for someone to build a new PPC motherboard?
Why do we have to spend an Exaggerated amouth of money for a motherboard that supports OS4?

What if we could do THIS (http://msaros.blogspot.com/2006/02/cheap-ppc-alternative.html) ?

For about $100?

What do you guys think?

I think it's not all that great. A bunch of what ifs. What if we put an amiga on a PCI card and stuffed it in a pc and had a bunch of software that will never be written controll the pc parts?

Why not just put together a single ppc board all by it's self with a ppc and aos? Wouldnt it be cheaper than putting the ppc/aos board in a pc? Hey, if we are going to go the wierd hardware software route, why not just port aos to intel?

Problem is, Amiga and community are unrelated. Aros = comunity. Amiga = private sector(as in you have no say).

Sorry I didn't know there was already a forum on that. I tried to search for it but the search function in here seems to suck.

Forget about 100.00. No one will make any money on that. Now, 500.00, that is different. I will be producing a card that will sell for that much with dual processors for the real power enthusiasts for more. Nothing over 999.00.
A real PDA, too. I will release the specs soon. No vaporware here or hoaxes either. The entire 68000 library of amiga software will run in emulation as a thread. The only problem will be that software that makes hardware chip based calls.
I am developing a binary variable optimizing compiler ala rosetta for the apple os x ppc to x86 conversion software. I just got source for the old 68000 assembler. I am working with qnx software. Have been for a long time. They ported the amiga os over 10 years ago. Then amiga inc. stupidly backed out.
Go to Qnx.com to check out the details. It is here to stay. I am using an industry standard pc104 plus or ebx motherboard.
With patented features. I will be granted a patent on the design. I'm in process of filing. As soon as that is done. I will be getting the design to the fabricators/designers. Then it is just 30 days to a working prototype.
Then I subcontract the initial production out in kits. Then I will use the profits to buy my own machinery. Within 6 months I will have my own factory turning out boards.
I own everything. No one can hold me hostage. Case closed.
